The total current delivered to a number of devices connected in parallel is the sum of the individual currents in each device. Circuit breakers are resettable automatic switches that protect against a dangerously large total current by "opening" to stop the current at a specified safe value. A 1640-W toaster, a 1200-W iron, and a 1340-W microwave oven are turned on in a kitchen. As the drawing shows, they are all connected through a 20-A circuit breaker (which has negligible resistance) to an ac voltage of 120 V. (a) Find the equivalent resistance of the three devices. (b) Obtain the total current delivered by the source and (c) determine whether the breaker will "open" to prevent an accident (yes or no).

Ohm's law

Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

Path of Least Resistance

In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
